Don. Thanks for the tip on finishing the crown moulding. I used it on some chair rails as I needed to finish the room and it worked like a champ.

One thing I am having trouble with is the caulking gun. I have used 3 tubes of caulking and one blew out the back just after loading, one was fine, and this one had a similar issue but didn't blow out till I had used 3/4 of the tube. It always happens where the plunger depresses the "loading plate" in the tube. I am getting kinda pissed though and think it is most likely something I am doing wrong. Any suggestions?

Meh, pricey. What level are you looking at? Hi or mid? I prefer IXOS, but your answer would determine which.

Glad it is working Chris. Good rule to live by ... do your best, then caulk the rest.

As for the gun ... you want a very small hole at the opening. Nothing large like doing a box or something. Regarding the blowout ... you did puncture after cutting the tip right?

This is not a problem. What lengths? I can possibly get you into the ZENs, but otherwise the 800 series.
